Hello, everyone,
No Downtime is going well so far. Load on the memory and internal tasklets look healthier than the first time we ran this experiment, and no game-breaking issues have been identified thus far. This is all within the expectations set for the No Downtime Vol. 2!
We want to get as much data, sexy graphs, and learnings from this experiment as possible. Therefore, we will be pushing the daily maintenance by a few hours to get some extra time beyond the 48 hours of service that was initially planned. This will be another important step to gather data that will help drive this initiative closer to the future with less frequent downtimes.
EXPECTED DT DATE & TIME: FRIDAY, 10 SEPTEMBER AT 15:00 UTC
EXPECTED DT DURATION: 20 MINUTES
From a technical standpoint, this is completely uncharted territory for EVE Online. We are genuinely excited to see how our services and in-game chat will continue to perform and this will generate some great insights. The EVE team is well caffeinated and ready to tackle anything that might crop up!
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your patience. It is amazing that we can conduct such essential experiments on live services together with encouragement from our fantastic community.
You guys are the best o7
